Maaytah: The development of partisan work is linked to civic culture

02 November 2022 
Engineer Musa Al-Maaytah, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Independent Commission for Lant Khab, said that partisan lifewas not new, but many partisan currents have emerged since the establishment of the Jordanian state, and that partisan life is developing with the development of legislation regulating it.

This came during a lecture delivered by Al-Maaytah at the Jordanian Diplomatic Institute / Jordanian Ministry of  Foreign Affairs, during which he discussed the process of political reform, the constitutional amendments emanating from the Royal Committee for the Modernization of the Political System, and the most prominent developments in the electoral and party laws, explaining the increase in the number of seats allocated to women (quota) in local lists, which reached 18 seats, from 15.

Maaytah also indicated that the  national constituency consists of 41 seats allocated to parties out of 138 (the total number of seats in the House of Representatives) and by up to 30 percent in the next House of Representatives (the twentieth), provided that this percentage rises to 50 percent in the twenty-first House of Representatives, and then settles on 65 percent in the twenty-second House of Representatives.

Maaytah stressed the need for a civic culture to promote partisan work, considering that the party is the tool of political action, which requires the development of sustainable habits of reason, social practices, and the transition from individual work to collective work.
 
At the end of the meeting, an extensive dialogue took place in which Al-Maaytah answered the questions and inquiries of the audience
